We have a few non-meeting related events coming up:

MSU Family Law Society adopts a family each holiday season from a local domestic violence shelter.  This year they adopted a family from EVE (Lansing's domestic violence shelter).  The family consists of a mom, a two-year old girl, and a three-month old boy. Please bring food items, toys, and clothing to donate to the family. Donations will only be accepted at the meeting this Wednesday; you will receive points for donations.

The 46^th Annual UAB Holiday Arts & Crafts Show will take place December 5 & 6, 2009 in the MSU Union Building.   There are 200 artists in the show.  Most of the artists use more than one helper, so the earning potential for your organization could be hundreds of dollars!

The shifts open for volunteering are

Friday, Dec. 4                        6:15 p.m.-9:00 p.m.

Saturday, Dec. 5                    5:45 a.m.-9:00 a.m.
